I'm not sure there was a technical way to preload back then. I wasn't working in web dev in the early 00s, but I had done some informally. I just don't think preloading was a thing. It's been a long time, but I'm pr

I'm a white American from the middle of nowhere who grew up with Taiwanese friends and went to uni in Japan and got 12. I think when I took this test two decades ago, I got 12-13 but that was a long time ago.
